Castro Killed JFK? Lee Harvey Oswald and Cubans in New Orleans

Lee Harvey Oswald Handing Out Pro-Castro Literature in New Orleans

Few
remember how New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison was the only agency of
government, local state or national, that took on the evidence of a possible
CIA and or Cuban Connection to the JFK Assassination. That New Orleans seems to
have been the hub of much of this CIA and Cuban based activity that showed
itself in nearby Dallas Texas in November 1963.

No
doubt a lot of the conspirators that could, did scatter out of New Orleans in
1967 when DA Garrison arrested local “business man” Clay Shaw.

Oscar
Marino, a former Cuban secret agent who has broken with Castro, tells the
camera that Havana wanted Kennedy dead because "he was an enemy of the
Cuban Revolution" -- a sworn and public enemy who had even sent a team of
CIA-contracted militants to overthrow Castro in 1961. (That mission failed at
the Bay of Pigs.) "Why did we take Oswald?" he says. "There
wasn't anyone else. You take what you can get ... Oswald volunteered to kill
Kennedy."The film will air
on the German public TV channel ARD on Friday and Huismann says there
are currently no plans to distribute it in the United States.
But if the sources are reliable, it would be a significant
new corroboration of a story that has quietly made the circuit of JFK
conspiracy theories ever since his assassination in 1963.General Alexander
Haig, for example, thinks Kennedy's successor, President Lyndon B. Johnson,
"was convinced Castro killed Kennedy, and he took it to his grave."
Haig served as a military adviser to Johnson and later as President Reagan's
Secretary of State. He tells Huismann in the film about memos from 1963 that
suggested Johnson's fear of letting the Castro-assassination story get out to
the American public. Johnson's attitude, said Haig, was that "we cannot
allow the American people to believe that Castro ... had killed Kennedy,"
because "there would be a right-wing uprising in America which would keep
the Democratic Party out of power for two generations."
